Imagine stepping back 200 million years into a world vastly different from the Earth we know today. During the age of dinosaurs, one colossal landmass, Pangaea, dominated the surface, surrounded by ...

However, Pangaea never included all of Earth's landmasses. For example, modern-day north and south China were independent islands separated to the east of Pangaea throughout the Carboniferous ...

Over 300 million years ago, all the continents we know today were joined together in a massive supercontinent called Pangaea. This video takes you on a fascinating journey back in time to explore ...

Earth is currently thought to be in the middle of a supercontinent cycle 1 as its present-day continents drift. The last supercontinent, Pangaea, broke apart about 200 million years ago.

Before Earth’s land formed the seven continents in the present day, all the planet’s landmass was joined together as a single, supercontinent known as “Pangaea.” Millions of years of Earth ...

In 1972, scientists wondered whether Pangaea was Earth’s only supercontinent. Fifty years later, we know it wasn’t the first and it won’t be the last.

In 250 million years, this may be the only continent on Earth Over time, Earth’s landmasses could smash together into a new supercontinent. Here’s what it might look like.

And should researchers’ projection of the future be correct, the next one, dubbed Pangaea Ultima, will form around Earth’s equator 250 million years from now, with potentially ruinous effects.

To figure out just how inhabitable the future Earth will be, the scientists turned to a supercomputer-run climate model that forecast temperatures and humidities across Pangaea Ultima. With most ...

Earth's mantle is split by the Pacific Ring of Fire, an ancient schism that reflects the creation and destruction of the supercontinent Pangaea, a new study finds. One of these sections contains ...

Earth may become uninhabitable in 250 million years due to a superheated supercontinent, Pangaea Ultima, with soaring temperatures and increased volcanic activity. The harsh conditions could ...

Pangaea formed during the Triassic age - when dinosaurs began roaming the Earth - some 200 million years ago due to shifts in plate tectonics Credit: Getty. Mapping archaic plate tectonics is the ...
